It is a bad habit to grow into, or depend upon. Suppose one or the other should die? And. besides, after awhile Rock Isl and may grow large enough to number among lis denizens someone else who is big enough to be mayor. Under these circumstances it might be difl cult to thro off the old custom unless a departure is made before people who have lived under the regirre of McCon ochie and Knox feel that they have grown too old to change. The people in their determination to got away from old evils, will not seek to fiy to others they know not of by finding refuge in the arms of a dema gogue. They will not look for relief in the candidate who Is waiting to prey upon their misery and profit him self in their hour of need. The people will not want any self arioir.tel leader. They will prefer to select their own deliverer. Who will he be? If he is a man who lias never sought th major's chair, though he may have bet-11 sought; whose re-cord is clean, y-t liberal and conservative; who has iiverao intelligence and strength of hararter; who possess sufficient in iivi iuality to Kad rather than be led; who Is public-spirited, yet with prop er business Judgment: who. although f'-arles.-. pronounced and outspoken ii his political views, is nevertheless a big enough man to appeal to the peo ple on the broader ground of good mu nicipal government regardless of poli tics h 1 the man the people are in a tiiood to turn to nt the present time.
